By 86 his arm recovered enough that it wasn't a total distraction. And for one of his last Olympias, I don't remember which one, he got into really good shape, very close to his 81 shape but a little bigger. As awful as his biceps tear was, i don't think it made a huge difference in his career. He was never going to win the Olympia and I don't think he competed in the smaller contests. Yet he's still really popular. He's one of the more 'famous' bodybuilders of the 80's.
